Hi, I'm engaged to someone who studies chickpea and other legumes. Shitloads of money goes into agriculture every year and from my understanding, what you're describing is being done by some brilliant people (I'm a bit biased). However there's so many concerns around GMOs doing damage to the environment that it is tightly regulated. Doubly also, Americans don't have the same ready access to grocery stores that ~~other~~ first world countries have.

Plus the equivalent of flat earthers exist that believe that GMOs will kill us all and we need to go back to eating only what nature created (somewhat hyperbole, there are valid concerns but people have been irrational).

An example is that chickpea and other legumes reintroduce nitrogen into soil after the soil loses vitality, which makes chickpea a good intermediate crop that can be grown in between others. Its high in nutrients and has good yield. So yeah, stop eating corn and eat legumes/chickpea/hummus.

(I'm not the molecular biologist so if I got stuff wrong, sorry, I will pay more attention when my partner speaks)

Epstein who pleaded guilty on prostitution charges in Florida, was facing trial on federal sex trafficking charges when he died in federal custody in 2019 in what numerous investigations deemed a suicide.

A suicide in the sense no one else used their body weight to hang him, sure. Do I believe he went willingly after the video tampering bullshit of a few months ago? No. No I don't.

Kind of a fond/humanised name for chat gpt me and some colleagues use. We've dubbed it our idiot friend, 'Gippers'. Its commonly wrong and there's a group of colleagues who trusts it and a group who doesn't. I think we anthropomorphised the machine a little, and also its maybe a little cringey.

Depending on definitions, I'm either a millennial or gen-z. Some of my team mates are awesome and know everything there is to know about computers. Others have knowledge gaps that make me question whether they went to uni. They're also the same people who commonly don't know how to find answers to things. They're also the people proclaiming the loudest about the greatness of Gippers

Its for the tutorial I think, you can hear the voice if you go to the steam store page for it, just watch the first trailer in the queue. If you cant be bothered, its a male british robotic voice with a helpful tone.

So ultimately hashing an email address could be a good thing, but its a matter of half measures. Sure, you can perform a basic hash before putting it in the database, but if we assume hashing is performed to prevent it being read by an attacker, why bother unless youre doing it properly?

Passwords, being more sensitive, should only be compared once finished being entered, so you can afford to run all the hashing, salting etc that is a requirement to keep the passwords safe.

If you were going to hash the email to the same standard, it becomes harder to retrieve and display, so when the user wants to look at their profile in the ui, you have to run an intense cryptographic algorithm just to display the email. Or if you want to contact the customer, or any other use for their email. Hence, people dont bother.

Thought something was weird here. The contrast and colour is making it difficult. If you turn up shadows it changes the entire feeling, including where the obvious light source is. I wouldn't expect the dark side of the mattress unless there was a bright light directly above it.

Also the banister/handrail arm wouldn't be horizontal. Most importantly, congrats, you got me invested.
